I haven't written in over two months. I have spent the majority of my time very close to my mother who is in the last days of her life. The rest of my life has been pretty much on hold. However my brother sent me a fascinating article about the theory that the pyramids were actually built as giant sound chambers. I have been aware of this for a long time- also the theory that sound was actually used to move the stones that were used in the building of the pyramids. That being said, in the interest of furthering the knowledge of the amazing potential of sound and the awareness of the possibilities of its use- past, present and future- I am posting this article.

Richard Hoagland is a fascinating guy. I had his film on the Face on Mars and
watched it several times almost 20 years ago but my boys were all
teenagers at the the time and recorded over the video! Eventually I will
have time to sit down again and write more of my own words but in the
meantime there is lots of interesting information that I can share with a
simple link or insert! Enjoy...

Filmmaker Boris Said and Researcher Richard Hoagland Agree and
Disagree

Both Richard Hoagland and Boris Said are vocal about their
suspicions that others in their field of interest -- Egypt --
are hiding what they know or have discovered, and for a variety of reasons.
Boris does not conclude the cover-up is a conspiracy, but believes
instead the Egyptians are most interested in the new discoveries being made
by Egyptians and any delay would be caused by pride.

Richard, on the
other hand, is convinced that certain officials in charge of granting
permits for excavation and study and releasing information on discoveries
are deliberately hiding or blocking some of the most extraordinary
possibilities. They joined Dr. Bob Hieronimus together on March 8,
1998 to discuss both the areas upon which they agreed and where they
disagreed.

Richard Hoagland is a former science consultant to Walter
Cronkite, CBS News, CNN and NASA,
and an advocate of the artificial creation theory for the anomalous Face and "pyramids" Mars. In August of 1993 he received the
Angstrom Foundation Medal for Excellence in Science. His Mars
anomalies research led him to the study of the ancient mysteries in
Egypt when he noticed the striking similarities between the Face on
Mars and The Sphinx. He says there is "a real set of
connections that we now can prove connects this extraordinary complex on
Mars at Cydonia with an equally extraordinary complex on Earth at Giza."

Boris Said has a very unusual biography beginning with an education
at Princeton University and a fluent knowledge of several languages
including Russian, French, Italian, Spanish and English. From 1953-1980
Boris was a sportsman and attained several automobile racing speed
records. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic Bobsled Team in 1968 and 1972,
and in 1980 Said began the transition to film work as he both drove the
four-man bobsled at the Lake Placid Olympics and worked on TV interviews for
ABC.

Since 1983 his credits have included writing, producing and directing
documentaries on bobsledding, dolphins, a Zulu witch doctor, and other
varied topics. The 1994 NBC TV feature documentary that he produced with
John Anthony West, "The Mysteries of the Sphinx" hosted by
Charlton Heston, was awarded an Emmy.

Boris first learned about the mysteries surrounding the monuments in
Egypt and the questions about their origins from John Anthony West,
when in 1990 West asked him to help make this documentary. West was
working with Boston University geologist Dr. Robert Schoch whose
ground breaking work indicates that the age of the Sphinx
is thousands of years older than the Egyptian civilization itself.

"I
came to it with no opinions whatsoever," says Boris, regarding the
controversial debates on the new findings.

"I mean, I didn't know. I had
just about figured that Egypt was spelled with a "y" and Sphinx was spelled
with an "i", and I had those backwards for a while.... I listened to
Robert Schoch the first trip explain why the Sphinx was
older than 4-5000 years, and it just made perfect sense to me, I mean,
nothing could have been more obvious. The marks were there, it was in the
stone, and so I got interested right from the start in... an alternative
viewpoint to the age, and perhaps the meaning, of those monuments."

In his bio, Boris states his life goal is to prove the existence of
ancient, highly advanced civilizations on our planet, perhaps our true
ancestors. It's a new life goal for him, he says.

"My life's goal used to be
to go faster than anybody else, but now I'm doing something a little
headier, and it came from my initial exposure to Egypt, and I've got to
thank John Anthony West for that."

WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS?

To this eternal question, Boris says,

"they were Egyptians, they lived in
Egypt. I mean... we've called them variously "Atlantians" and,
I suppose, "Little Green Man from Mars", but that was Egypt, and so
therefore, to me, they're Egyptians."

He says there is no way the pyramids
were intended to be tombs for Pharaohs.

"They've never found bodies in them.
There's no single mark that identifies the pyramids as the tomb of any
particular Pharaoh and, to the extent that in some of the pyramids bodies
were later found, I think these structures were probably used as tombs by
people who came later. I think that whoever created these structures used
something that we don't know [about]."

Robert Bauval revealed how, at
the dawning of the Age of Leo, the air shafts in the Great Pyramid point directly to the stars of Orion.
Boris continued to point out how the Sphinx looks like
a lion, "its got to give you some indication that the people back then knew
something we don't know."

Richard adds that we are the descendants of these architects of the
Egyptian monuments, whoever they were. He notes that when he first began his
research into the Face on Mars in 1983, he remembers the almost
unanimous reaction of archeologists when they were shown unidentified
pictures of the Martian anomalies.

"The answers ranged from Hanuman, the
Indian monkey god, to an aerial view of some pyramid complex in Egypt..
Initially looking at these things, I was thinking in terms of aliens,
in terms of other, in terms of visitors to the solar system who had erected
a stunning artificial complex on Mars.... Over the ensuing 15 years... my
thinking has come perhaps 180� and in good measure because of... John
West, Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval."

Richard
began wondering about the possibilities that the anomalies an Mars
perhaps could indeed be related to the monuments in Egypt.

"Which really got me to
thinking," he said. "If this stuff on Mars was not alien, if it wasn't
somebody else, somebody from way out there, then the comparisons between the
architecture we find at Cydonia on Mars and the ancient enigmatic
architecture, bits and pieces of which we have found now all around this
planet, maybe make the case for a previous high civilization epic on planet
Earth, in which case we could be looking at our stuff, the human race. So I
think Boris is very perceptive when he says, ultimately, it's
Egyptians that did what we see in Egypt. The only question is, how ancient,
ancient, ancient were those Egyptians?"

WERE THE PYRAMIDS ON MARS BUILT FOR THE SAME REASON AS THOSE IN GIZA?

Richard says to answer that, one has to examine what the pyramid
complex in Egypt was used for,

"By tracking the numbers, the
geometry, the specific angles, the relationship of these things to each
other, and their relationship to the sitting of the things here on Earth,
particularly the Giza Plateau, we have gotten on the trail of what I
call, an old/new physics, which we term hyperdimensional physics. It
turns out its the same physics that physicists like Maxwell and
others in England were attempting to launch about 100 years ago.

The numbers
at Cydonia, the numbers on Mars, the numbers at Giza,
the numbers of many ancient sacred sites all over this planet, are the same
numbers that Maxwell and Kelvin and those colleagues back in
England 100 years ago were deriving as the basis of the physics of the 19th
and 20th century.... The usage of the pyramid complex at Giza appears
to have been in service to this physics. These were not tombs, not temples,
but potentially, machines, huge machines built of limestone as the working
substance, the working material, at a specific site on a rotating planet,
such as Cydonia is on a rotating Mars."

The positioning of the
structures was of the utmost importance, having to consider the physics and
the interaction of the "pyramid machines" with the planet
itself when they were turned on. According to Hoagland, this is all
part of

"a
technology which we are just beginning to glimpse again, incredibly ancient,
incredibly sophisticated, incredibly arcane. We can only now see the empty
shells of what might have been a functioning complex whose purpose we are
also just beginning to dimly grasp. But it was light years beyond providing
tombs for some egocentric Pharaoh."

Boris Said agrees,
saying,

"It's very difficult to find fault with Richard's logic,"
noting that Bauval's concept suggests the pyramids were placed in a
position representing the stars of the Orion constellation.
Boris is now working with Tom Danley, sonics expert and
consultant to NASA, to explore the air shafts leading down
into the King's and Queen's chambers, "which have been described by
Bauval as lining up with the stars of Orion. Quite
recently a fellow named Gantenbrink sent a robotic camera up the end
of one of those shafts and he found a door with hinges and apparently some
space underneath it. What we've been doing is, we've been approaching this
problem from a completely different scientific viewpoint.

We've been
testing the sonics of the Great Pyramid. We've
known for a long time that if you lie in what they call the sarcophagus,
which is that stone box in the King's Chamber cut from a solid piece of
granite, and you hum, you hum a scale, for example, there will be certain
notes that sound louder and more resonant to you than other notes. And
recently we had an opportunity to put sensors all over that pyramid,
including the five chambers above the King's Chamber, which I guess
we're going to discuss in more detail later, and we found that when we
activated the pyramid with hugs speakers and amplifiers in the King's
Chamber that all of these sensors resonated, leading us to believe that the
entire pyramid was some sort of huge sonic machine."

Richard equates the pyramid to a pipe organ. The openings of some of
the recently discovered air shafts from the King and Queen's Chambers are
open now and wind is blowing across them like a pipe organ. When you blow
air across an organ pipe you get a certain resonant frequency.
Richard Hoagland says the builders of the pyramids created hyperdimensional machines, placed at certain latitudes on the
spinning planet to excite certain acoustic resonances when the air
passed through the open passages.

Boris adds that even if the passages were closed, if you had an
internal excitation mechanism, the pyramid as a whole will resonate with
certain fundamental tones. The more power, the more energy, the louder the
tones.

"What we proved," says Boris, "was when we got back to the
laboratory and analyzed our recordings, we found that there were sounds
present in the King's Chamber even when we weren't making any sounds. They
were below the audible range, below 20 Hertz, below 20 vibrations per
second.... Down as far as half a vibration per second, or half a Hertz.

We found that these lower scales had the same five peaks, and when you
plotted the peaks on a graph and raised them three or four octaves to where
you could hear them, low and behold, it was the same notes. It was the same
chord... an F sharp chord, which the early Egyptian
texts suggest was a harmonic of Mother Earth. And I
might tell you, coincidentally, and we bring this out in our tape, a lot of
Native American makers of sacred flutes, tune their flutes to F sharp.
Why? Because it's compatible with the harmony of Mother Earth.
Now that's just too big a coincidence."

THE PYRAMIDS WERE USED FOR SONIC RESONANCE

Boris continues,

"We're right now working on a program to replicate
the Giza pyramid in a virtual reality state with virtual
sound, which we believe will restore, in theory, restore the pyramid to the
way it was when the sides were smooth. You know if you think about the wind
blowing over the aides of the pyramid, it's like blowing across the mouth of
a pop bottle. It makes a hooting sound, it makes a toot, right? You blow
across a Coke bottle? Well, we think that's what used to happen with the Great Pyramid.

And we believe that if we can replicate the
pyramid, make it smooth, and get rid of the incursions, all of the
tunnels.... We believe that maybe the entrance to the pyramid was from the
bottom, from down underneath somehow, a long series of tunnels. Because
clearly, there was no intrusion into the grand gallery, and we believe that
was all part of the giant echo chamber that enhanced the vibrations....
We're gonna try and compare this condition to other pyramids around the
world and see whether perhaps that wasn't what they had in mind."

Richard explains that in resonance theory,

"it's really the mass and
the length of the cavities or chambers that determine the ultimate tones
that a structure will produce."

He says Boris and his NASA
colleagues are on the trail of a theoretical model that Stan Tenen
and I have been working on for about ten years relating to the model that
the pyramids really were machines designed by an extraordinary physics, much
older than the classical Egyptian model, designed to do something
interacting with the planet.

Now, if you excite these things
acoustically, meaning with sound, not from the outside but from the inside,
with technology which is now missing because it was all taken away, you got
the same effect that Boris is talking about.

"The very structure of the pyramids is calcium carbonate, limestone, which
has a certain molecular configuration of the crystal. It's a little
tetrahedron made of calcium and carbon atoms, over and over and over
again in six million tons of this stuff stacked up in a perfect geometry of
the crystal itself called the Great Pyramid. Now if you excite
this, if you basically create a tone inside with some kind of huge loud
speakers or huge system powered by some energy source... the result is the
entire pyramid, all six million tons, will vibrate. It will resonate. It
will sound a set of tones, the tones that Danley and Boris are
now tracking, in a very faint way."

Richard envisions the builders of
the Pyramid designing it so the amplified tones would literally twist the
calcium carbonate crystal back and forth in a rhythmic pattern in such a way
that you could also twist space and time itselfand
potentially create extraordinary changes of consciousness. He goes on to
say that,

"because the pyramid, through the plateau, is anchored to trillions
and trillions of tons of this limestone stretching a quarter of a way around
the planet to Indonesia, you literally could change the resonant
characteristics of Planet Earth itself if you pumped enough
energy into the pyramids [serving] as machines at their precise latitude".

ALL THINGS ARE VIBRATION

Boris says be doesn't know about hyperdimensional physics and
space time travel, but he,

"loves the work that Richard's doing and I
think it should all come together.... What I'm saying is that if you lie in
the pyramid and you hum or you chant it's conceivable that you could put
yourself into an altered state... There is a very easy way to establish the
logic of this argument, and that is to try it out, and that's what we're
trying to do. There are sounds .... that tape, you know, that were made
inside this King's Chamber, and if nothing else, they're spooky."

He says
they are something different, something we haven't heard, or been exposed to
in a long time, although researchers like Don Campbell, a former
guest on 21st Century Radio� are showing how vibrations and classical music
can be used to assist healing in surgery and in analysis.

"I think that
we're getting to a point," says Boris, "where all of a sudden we're
going to find out that vibes is not just a colloquial expression for the New
Age.... It's where healing is, it's where altered states are, where
awareness is."
